Hello fellow amphibian keepers! I have been a long time fan of salamanders and frogs, but prefer terrestrial species over aquatic :p As I am currently looking to expand my collection in the caudate area, I am wondering what some interesting and beautiful 100% terrestrial species are? I'm currently looking at emperor newts.

Emperor newts are not 100% terrestrial.

Ok thanks guys, I guess I should have clarified, I'm fine with a water feature/pond, just the majority of the tank being a terrestrial set-up

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
